In early 1982 the relatively unknown composer James Horner was tapped by the producers of the second Star Trek motion picture, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan to compose and conduct the film's score. Mr. Horner began his film composing career four years earlier in 1978 with the film The Watcher. Prior to composing the score for The Wrath of Khan, Mr. Horner composed the scores for the films The Lady in Red (1979), Battle Beyond the Stars (1980), and The Pursuit of D. B. Cooper (1981).
